1995: British troops sent to Sarajevo

The UK sent 1,200 troops to help relieve the besieged Bosnian capital, Sarajevo, in July 1995.

Bosnian Serbs had controlled access to Sarajevo for three years, killing dozens of people along the 11-mile Mount Igman trail - the only route into and out of the city.

Sarajevo was one of six UN-designated safe havens in Bosnia to protect Muslim communities.

British forces from the Devon and Dorset regiment joined 500 French Foreign Legionnaires based on top of Mount Igman overlooking Sarajevo to the south.
